Common questions
Lead qualification questions
What is a qualified chatbot?
A qualified chatbot is one that does more than answer questions: it asks your qualifying questions, scores the answers against your own criteria, and only routes or books the people who meet them. The point is that your sales team opens a conversation already knowing budget, timeline and fit rather than starting from scratch.
How does it decide a lead is qualified?
You define the criteria. The agent gathers the answers in conversation, scores intent in real time, and routes or books based on your rules.
What happens to leads that do not qualify?
They still get a helpful, on-brand answer and their contact is captured, so you never burn a prospect just to filter your reps inbox.
Where do qualified leads go?
They are booked into an open slot or handed to a teammate with the full conversation and CRM context, never a cold transfer.
Does it work across more than the website?
Yes. It qualifies inbound leads across SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, web chat, and email, all in one unified inbox.
What is a lead qualification chatbot?
A lead qualification chatbot is an AI assistant that talks to inbound prospects, asks the screening questions your sales team would ask, and sorts the ones worth a call from the ones who are not ready. It captures budget, timeline, need, and authority in a normal conversation, then books or routes the qualified leads with the full transcript attached.
How do chatbots qualify leads?
They ask a short, ordered set of questions inside the conversation instead of on a form, and adapt based on the answers. A good one covers what the person needs, when they need it, roughly what they can spend, and whether they can decide, scoring the lead against rules you set rather than following a rigid script.
What questions should a lead qualification chatbot ask?
Keep it to four or five. What are you trying to solve, when do you need it, what is your rough budget or volume, and are you the person who signs off. Add one industry-specific disqualifier, such as service area or company size. More questions than that and completion rates fall faster than lead quality rises.
How much does a lead qualification bot cost?
Flat AI messaging platforms typically run $79 to $499 a month regardless of lead volume. Be careful with per-outcome vendors: Intercom Fin, for example, charges $9.99 for each qualification outcome, so screening 200 leads a month costs about $1,998 before seats. MessageAgent includes qualification in the flat plan at any volume.
